But needles have a hole in them too, so how's sticking a needle in the airhole gonna solve the leaking, if I may ask?

I don't know because I've never used one or seen one up close for that matter. For me anything that leaks or causes that much of a hassle to make it work is not worth it. Simple fix. Grab atty, open garbage pail, release, close pail! ;)

By inserting tubes into the air holes, it raises the air outlets above the deck allowing some liquid to pool on the deck without flowing back down the air holes.

Use the end of a q-tip in an emergency!
Haha. It's not end of the world, but the taste is a little bit off.. Probably because I got a major dryhit on my way. Since I use high vg, I have to suck without firing a couple times, if used more than 5 minutes approx. And I forgot that when waiting for the bus, and got that dryhit.

The worst part was that I had nothing to cover the awful taste with. No water, no gum or anything. I had to wait an hour before I could cleanse my mouth. Almost ended badly during that trip..

Taste of the vape isn't awful now, but it's not the same. No cotton will be the same after such a dryhit.

It raises the level of the top of the airhole -- the 12ga fits inside it perfectly, so juice can't get into the airhole -- but air still can.

ETA: Like so (pic by @AMDTrucking in the thread relating to this in 2014)

Hi! Has anyone used the lemo tank and would it be a good tank to learn to rebuild on?
I have the Lemo2. And yes it is simple to build on. But why not try the Subtank Mini? Easy to build on and you can use blister coils too if you want. You can vape it from MTL to moderate clouds. And you do not have to be sub ohm if you do not want to. I do mine at 1-1.2 ohms. 23.99 at Vapor Beast. A good solid simple tank. The STM also holds more juice than many other RBA's that are the same size.
I am referring the the V2 Subtank Mini which is what is currently for sale most places. I think about all the V1's are sold out. The V2 is better.

Would that be the kanger subtank mini? I looked at those but thought they were for sub ohming?

Yep the Kanger Sub Tank Mini. You can sub ohm on them or not. You can get blister pak coils in .5, 1.2 or 1.5 ohms for them. And the airflow is very adjustable making them a very versatile tank.
As I said I build my coils at 1 - 1.2 ohms and sometimes use the 1.2 ohm blister pak coil in them. I vape mostly at around 15 watts on them. with the .5 coil you can go up to around 40 watts or so.
You could build a 2 ohm coil in it and have a nice MTL vape. Also the flavor to me is a bit better than the Lemo2 with the same build.

as Robert says you dont need to sub ohm just because its called a sub ie subohm tankView attachment 521225

Yep the STM is quite possibly the most versatile and reliable tank out there. It will not do super high watts but within it's range of about 10-50 watts it is very good. Simple to clean, fill and maintain.
And does not develop a dribbly top like some top fill tanks.

Yep one of the easiest to build on. Come with a .5 ohm wrapped coil installed in the rebuild deck.
And on extra I think. I like to use 28 ga Kanthal in mine. I wrap around a 2.4 mm screwdriver shaft.
I'm not ready yet to rebuild but I'm gonna buy one to put up that way when I'm ready say in a month or 2 I will have it

It comes with a 1.2 and a .5 blister pak coil. Try the 1.2 first I think you will like it. You can of course order more or the 1.5 coil as well.
I do recommend getting a standard looking drip tip for it. I am not a fan of the wide bore drip tip they come with.

I like them and my Russian 91%. I have no problems with them at all. Neither wicking or leaks. Might gurgle when I first fill them. Simply turn it upside down and blow a couple of times and problem solved! No need to stick things in air holes to patch a problem. ;)

Well, I am terribly perturbed. The needles came today, and if those are 12ga needles, I'm a monkey. They appear to be exactly the same "fatness" as my 16ga needles, if not even smaller. So I just requested a return via ebay. I need to find a different vendor, since this one clearly doesn't understand needle gauges, and buy a smaller quantity, 3-5 instead of 10, of 10ga and 12ga needles. :grr:
